DSR KH+

DSR KH+ to increase KH level

Natriumbicarbonate

Prefered tester: Salifert KH

KH together with the basis for the growth of calcareous algae and the construction of the calcareous skeleton in corals.
By the consumption of KH calculated this value in the aquarium water and this will have consequences for the corals. If this value falls below ~5 KH for longer than ~1 week, the tops of various acroporas will start to bleach and algae in the long run. Also, tissue will form on various other SPS and LPS corals and the polyps will settle in.

Increasing the KH content in a running aquarium is done with Sodium Bicarbonate (DSR KH+)

you proceed as follows:

• measuring with, for example, a salifert KH test
• start the DSR calculator, only the yellow cells can be changed and must therefore be checked
• enter the measured value into the DSR calculator
• the water volume makes sense for the calculation, that must be the net volume in litres
• the action that should be on “Correct values”
• the target value for KH
• read the quantity to be dosed from the columns “correction values” and “unit/raw material” (in grams)
• if using stock solution, use the solutions column on the far right (in milliliters).

The dosing can be done via the sump away from the suction of the booster pump, or gradually poured into the aquarium with all flow pumps on.
